Who are these road trippers you’ve been following, anyway? (If you stumbled onto this post from elsewhere, start the road trip journey here.)

Lisa & Clark, on an expedition to the Amazon.

Lisa is a romance and young adult novelist, with over twenty published titles under her belt. You can read her bio here. The whole website is hers, actually; feel free to dig around.

Clark, on the other hand, is a more mysterious figure… Or not. He’s an automotive journalist and marketing writer/editor, working in a variety of fields. Academics, software, jewelry, and yes, cars. His most prominent work is for Lexus; here are a few samples:

Clark has also written a novel, a golf comedy. Winter Rules will be on sale at the end of summer, 2012.

Winter Rules

Clark collects antiques, is in a book club, plays hockey, fly fishes, is into stonework in gardens (herniated a couple discs thanks to that…) and oh yeah, is restoring a 1920s Mercury Body speedster that he pulled out of the weeds behind a neighbor’s house.

Clark (on R) and his brother pulling the speedster from the weeds.

Clark has owned over 70 cars in his life, put himself through college working in service stations, and has a brother who caught the car bug even worse than he did and now owns two repair garages in Seattle, Doctor Don’s Automotive.

Lisa — romance novelist, girly-girl. Clark — a hockey playing writer who’s learning his way around a welding torch. What can you say? They were made for each other.
